Kent Wildlife Trust
Leading Conservation in Kent
Kent Wildlife Trust is the county’s leading conservation charity, dedicated to restoring and enhancing Kent’s natural heritage. With over 32,000 members and volunteers, the Trust manages more than 9,000 acres of land and works to protect and restore the county’s wildlife through key projects like Wilder Kent 2030, a 25-year strategy aimed at making Kent’s land and sea wilder and more biodiverse. A significant part of this effort includes the restoration of West Blean and Thornden Woods, where the Trust is pioneering the reintroduction of European bison. Kent Construction Consultants has delivered the Blean Woods Bison Rangers Centre project, which involved the careful restoration of a Victorian building and the integration of sustainable, renewable energy solutions.
The Centre now supports the management and monitoring of the bison population and provides an educational space for community engagement. By combining habitat restoration, species reintroduction, and environmentally conscious development, Kent Wildlife Trust is shaping a wilder, more sustainable future for Kent—and Kent Construction Consultants is proud to have played a key role in delivering this important conservation facility.

Delivering Wilder Blean: Supporting Conservation Through Expert Delivery
Kent Construction Consultants is proud to have delivered the quantity surveying and project management services for the Kent Wildlife Trust’s Wilder Blean Bison Rangers Centre project. As part of this pioneering rewilding initiative, the first in the UK to reintroduce European bison to natural woodland, we played a key role in managing the successful restoration of a Victorian building into a modern, sustainable facility for the rangers.
Working closely with the appointed contractor, County Construction, we ensured the project was delivered to the highest standards, on time and within budget. Our involvement focused on cost control, programme management, and risk mitigation, all while aligning with the environmental values of the Trust. This unique scheme not only supports the ongoing monitoring and care of the bison herd but also serves as an educational and community resource, helping to connect people with nature and promote biodiversity in the region.
